Selectboard adopts 2025 Town Plan, moves to submit to regional commission
Summary
The Weston Selectboard voted to adopt the 2025 Town Plan and directed staff to submit it to the Windham Regional Commission for verification of compliance; the votes passed with three in favor and Chair Denis Benson abstaining.
The Town of Weston Selectboard on April 8 approved and adopted the town's 2025 Town Plan and immediately voted to submit the plan to the Windham Regional Commission for verification of compliance with the municipal planning process.
Linda Saarnijoki moved that the Selectboard approve and adopt the 2025 Town Plan; the motion passed with three votes in favor and Denis Benson abstaining. Katie Fitzpatrick subsequently moved to submit the Town Plan to the Windham Regional Commission; that motion also passed with the same 3–0–1 tally (Benson abstaining). The Planning Commission had reported that the Selectboard's revisions were compliant with state requirements.
The adoption is the board's formal endorsement of the updated plan and begins the regional verification step required under Vermont municipal planning rules. The Selectboard's vote to submit triggers review by the Windham Regional Commission; Matt Bachler was present via Zoom when the board requested the vote be taken while he was online. No timeline for final regional certification was stated during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will forward the adopted plan to the Windham Regional Commission for verification, as directed by the Selectboard.
